Freddie Mercury Is Still Alive

Today is 24th November 2011, 20 years ago we lost the very unique Farrokh Bulsara, and these days you'll be able to see all sort of articles, tv programmes, interviews, videos, and a huge etcetera related to him, one of those is this I'd like to share with you now, it's not about himself but about the band, but it will help you understand that, Freddie Mercury is still alive. 

British television channel BBC TV will air a brand-new documentary in two different parts as the legendary band will count 40 years since it was founded, the documentary is called "Queen: Days Of Our Lives".

We'll be able to listen to the very Roger Taylor, and Brian May sharing with us their version of the incredible years with Queen, the huge success, their albums, tours and promotions all over the world including Asia, and South America, as well as their current situation and Freddie's passing in a very detailed way for the first time.

In 1971, four university students got together to form a band. Since then, that certain band called Queen have released 26 albums and sold over 300 million records worldwide. The popularity of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon is stronger than ever. Their story is a remarkable one, a narrative that covers early struggles, huge obstacles, success, arguments, breakups, triumph, tragedy and an enduring legacy – all against a backdrop of brilliant music and stunning live performances from every corner of the globe.

In this film, for the first time, it is the band that tells their story. Guiding us through an extensive archive full of hitherto unseen footage, the documentary reveals how four strong-minded individuals, all capable of writing massive hit songs, worked together so successfully for four decades.

Queen never did anything by halves – meaning their highs were massive, but their lows catastrophic. It is a compelling story told with intelligence, wit, plenty of humor and painful honesty.

But the band quickly learned that if reaching the top is tough, staying there is the biggest challenge of all. With a loss of focus in the studio, the decline in popularity in North America, increasing internal tension and a desire to pursue solo projects, it seemed as if the band had had its day.

Then came the performance from Mercury at Live Aid, and their record breaking Magic tour in 1986. Queen were propelled back amongst the very best. Rejuvenated, the world was once again at their feet, but then tragedy struck and threatened to tear the band apart. Featuring musical performances, previously unseen and rare footage, and intimate interviews.
